kila Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 No concerns with Bobby being number 1 next season. Every keeper has a brain fart in them, and at least we know what we get with Bobby instead of changing things again. Plus Bobby wasn't one to throw the toys out the pram when he got dropped, but instead focused on making himself better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Content enough with Zlamal as number 1. Ideally we'd sign better competition for him but, as already stated, the creative and productive areas of the field have to be our priority. Fecking non existent much of the time last season.

StevenNaismith Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 But for a change in personal circumstances I’m pretty sure CG would’ve been at Hearts this summer. If Celtic paid up his contract it may still happen but he’s on a hefty wage so can’t see them stumping up to let him come back to Hearts.

WheatfieldWarrior Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think we're ok with goalies at the moment - Jon McLaughlin was better, but left after a season. Gordon could come back, and we have a youngster coming through, so maybe best to keep what we have and focus our attention elsewhere.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I like Bobby. If we don't have a genuinely excellent goalie like Gordon, Niemi or even McLaughlin, I'd rather have a character like Bobby who will make mistakes but is generally solid, very vocal, a good shot stopper and a big character - bit like Rousset and Smith and even Kello but behind them ability wise. We have to prioritise when it comes to signings though. We could find better players in every position bar maybe Naismith's but.... money. Getting more cutting edge up front is the priority.

Big Slim Stylee Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It’s not something that’s bothered me as much as the other glaring needs we have. Bobby is a decent keeper prone to the odd brain freeze. I’d agree that in an ideal world we could do better but not at the expense of addressing our major attacking deficiencies.

brawlad74 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Wrong decision for me. We need a strong first choice nos 1 pick to complement back 4.

OTT Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Bobby was brought in as a number 2 because we thought we were getting McGregor. He's still a number 2 in my eyes. I'd rather we tried to get St Johnstone to sell us Zander Clark. He's got great stats (on a par with McGregor & Bain). As of next season he'll be in his final 12 months so St J. need to cash in now or lose him. Gordon would be my first choice for sentimental reasons but Clark has youth on his side and given the lack of quality at GK in the national side joining us could be his ticket to the National side. Sad to say, but I think decisions like this are why Levein hasn't won jack shit as a manager. Very poor call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Cockade Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Bobby looks a decent keeper but with the odd brain fart thrown in Doyle is just awful a big strong guy who should be solid but is worse than useless in the air also not very agile and that one he threw in the net at Motherwell was unforgivable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Bobby saying he’d snub English clubs to stay......delusional. Yes Edouard dived but it was brutal goalkeeping. He has to either come straight away or stay at home. He goes inbetween as he does with the majority of his decisions. Continually punches the ball into danger when a catch is simple(that’s a bug bear with lots of keepers anyway) but if you punch you need to get distance whereas he rarely does. The amount of goals he loses in and around his body is staggering. One at home v Kilmarnock where they beat us 1-0 was shocking. He cant move his feet quick. Yes, he is capable of a spectacular save but the amount of mistakes he makes outweighs this. He will cost us atleast 4-5 games next season.

Selkirk_Jambo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Bobby has been fine since he came back into the side, final aside.

There’s definitely better options out there, but we need to look for them. Clarke would be a longer term option, for I’d imagine a fairly modest fee, given he’s in the last year. Freddie Woodman is likely to be available, Rob Elliot is one id like to see us sound out. But there will be lots of keepers out of contract from championship/League 1 clubs that will improve the position. Even loans from Premier League clubs, if we don’t want to spend money. Im not overly keen on Gordon tbh albeit I do think he’s better than what we have at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been "the next best thing" for ages but has still not managed to get a decent slot anywhere despite being on loan several times, including the Sheep and Killie. He is still young enough for a keeper, though. Elliot is a much better bet but I reckon a loan deal is the best we can (and should) do.

CL saying he and Doyle are good enough is a reason why we will probably fail to win any honours when the chips are down. Goalkeeper is a position that we could easily upgrade. That CL doesn’t seem concerned speaks volumes about why we will continue to scrape into the top 6 at best.
